datasets
Is very similar to SET DEF, it enables setting defaults for any
component of Vax/VMS file names (node, disk, directory, file
name, file type and version number) and also of VM/CMS file
names (file name, file type and file mode).
This command can not be issued from within a dataset subsection.
Format:
% DEFAULT file_specification
Examples:
% DEF
% DEF 'VAXODIE::'
%default .GARFLIB
The first example shows the current default, the second tells
Garfield that it should try to find the files on the node called
VAXODIE (note the quotes, the colons are separators and would be
discarded without the quotes). The last example ensures that the
libraries to be read and written have extension GARFLIB.
Marks a member in a dataset for removal. Removing members physically
from a dataset is done by %PURGE. The %RECOVER instruction will undo
a %DELETE. Both the member and the type may be wildcards (a * matches
every string).
Format:
%DELETE dsname member [type]
Prints the complete contents of the help file, this command does
not exist on Vax computers.
Beware ... this command will generate a huge amount of output !
Leaves a dataset subsection. You enter a dataset subsection by
typing only a % sign with further arguments. Within such a section,
no other subsections may be entered, neither may you leave the
calling section from within the subsection.
Format:
EXIT
Produces a list of members in a dataset. The member and type, if you
give them at all, may be of the wildcard type (a * matches any number
of every character) and only the members that match both will be in
the list.
Format:
%INDEX dsname [member] [type]
Types the contents of some member to the output. You may optionally
request listing of only one type of member, note however that both
the member and the type may be of the wildcard type (a * matches
any string).
Format:
%LIST dsname [member] [type]
Packs the readable help file into a direct access file which is used
by the on-line help utility. There should be no need to execute this
command at CERN. Elsewhere, it has to be executed only once when a
new release of the help file is distributed.
The VMS help utility is used on Vax computers. This instruction will
therefore create a help library rather than a direct access dataset
on such devices.
Before this command is executed, one has to ensure that the readable
(or raw) help file is available. It is distributed as:
CMS: GARFIELD RAWHELP
Apollo, Cray, Sun: help_raw$garfield
Vax: GARFIELD.HLP (accessed as HELP_RAW$GARFIELD)
This command is not executed if a direct access help file exists
when the command is entered, except on Vax where a new version of
the library is generated.
This instruction removes deleted members from a dataset. No recovery
is possible unless you made a backup yourself. Member and type may
not be specified.
Format:
%PURGE dsname
Recovers deleted members from a dataset that has not yet been purged.
Both the member and the type may be of the wildcard type (a * matches
every string).
Format:
%RECOVER dsname member [type]
